Specialized Treatment For Veterans
Veterans Substance Use Disorder
Specialized Care for Veterans Facing Substance Use Challenges
Military service demands resilience. But for many veterans, the experiences of deployment, reintegration, and life after service can leave lasting emotional and physical strain. Substance use disorder (SUD) can develop as a way to cope with anxiety, trauma, depression, or chronic stress—especially when those symptoms go unaddressed.
At Providence Treatment, we provide primary mental health and substance use disorder treatment for veterans in a discreet, clinically advanced setting. Our programs are designed for professionals, high-responsibility roles, and those who value privacy while receiving care that works.
Substance Use in Veterans
Veterans may turn to alcohol, prescription medication, or illicit drugs for reasons that go beyond recreational use:
Managing intrusive memories or nightmares
Easing hypervigilance and restlessness
Coping with chronic pain or physical injuries
Reducing social discomfort or isolation
Managing depression, anxiety, or irritability
Over time, these coping mechanisms can evolve into dependence—impacting health, relationships, and career stability.
Dual Diagnosis: Treating SUD and Mental Health Together
Many veterans living with SUD also experience co-occurring mental health conditions such as PTSD, depression, or anxiety. Treating one without the other can leave critical symptoms unaddressed—often leading to relapse.
Providence Treatment’s dual diagnosis care addresses both conditions simultaneously:
Coordinated treatment plans for mental health and substance use
Specialized trauma-informed therapies such as EMDR
Ongoing symptom monitoring to track mental health progress during recovery
Integrated care between therapists, psychiatrists, and medical providers
This whole-person approach ensures that veterans leave treatment with both their mental health and recovery on a stronger foundation.
